Factbites Search Engine

According to its Web site, Factbites is a search engine, currently in beta, that searches for matches on the basis of your entire topic area, and not just based upon the keyword that you use. This means that it can return relevant, informative results about your topic that do not necessarily mention the keyword that you used.

Factbites also provides full, meaningful sentences from every site in the search results, which allows users to glean useful information on a topic without ever having to leave the search page.
